How long did it take you to make this video?
Short answer: Too Bleeping Long (well over 100 hours as I had to remake this)
(I started in around December and research before then)
What software/equipment did you use to make this video?
After effects, Illustrator, Premier Pro, Audacity, Yeti microphone,
Believe it or not this is in a nutshell compared to the amount of research that went into this
Obviously we've simplified some events just for the sake of time and missed people and events that can be covered in other videos
Do people still read? Eh if your reading this then yes.

As a Brit, I can confirm that Essex is now the furthest thing from a kingdom 😅

Thanks for the super-short survey of British history. The small amount of it I learned (in the US) were isolated events without context. Nice that a succinct video can provide me with a framework to explore more history. Thanks, again!
-
My stepfather is British. He tells me a lot about his beloved country. I always ask him bout UK because I’m fascinated of all those castles.
-
“The 1860s brought the best food combination ever fish and chips” Britons:dam right
-
I love the “Greatest drink ever, tea. The greatest combination ever, fish and chips” without a speck of irony
-
Brilliant! You've done a splendid job. As the title suggests, you did define Britain in 20 minutes. Piling that together must've been a job and a half for you. Well done!
-
I'm a history graduate and this really enriched my understanding of the timeline of history
-
Seven minutes in and I've already learned more British history than I learned in 12 years of school. Thanks state education system!
